DRAFT RESOLUTION ON CONFIRMATION OF THE KAZAN AND KUBAN
COMMITTEES{1}

TheCongress resolves not to count the Kazan and the Kuban committees
in constituting the Congress, but to confirm them as full-fledged
committees for the future.

{1}Under the Party Rules adopted by the Second R.S.D.L.P. Congress, only
organisations confirmed not less than one year before the Con a the right
of representation at the Congress. Under the Rules, the Kazan and Kuban
committees were not regarded as fully empowered at the Third Congress,
because they were not on the list of full-fledged committees in the minutes
of the Party Council prior to September 1, 1904. At the fifth sitting of
the Third Party Congress on April 14 (27), V. V. Vorovsky (Orlovsky)
motioned a draft resolution written by Lenin on coning these committees as
full-fledged forthwith. The resolution was adopted at the same sitting.
